Like the Mavericks lots too.

When I first started driving 16 years old, dad got us as 67 vw bug was kind of lame in MN, scrape windows inside and out, poor heater and defrost. Traded up the bug right away for a 69 vw fast back, good improvement . . had that for 6 months then traded that for a 1970 Maverick 2 Door with the indestructible 200 cu in 6 in it with an automatic. Such a huge huge improvement over those VWs all the way around, felt like driving a Cadillac in comparison.

At same time got my '64 Chev 2 door Impala set up (while parents still owned the Maverick) with a 350 4spd, black interior and put in black buckets and painted it red with aluminum slots, that was a way cool project and car to run with as it was my first car. So much fun with that one.

Cool looking body style on those Mavericks, as young drivers me and my older brother ran that car pretty hard and it never let us down once.

Really Liked the that '70 Maverick . . .

Looked just like this pic below.

Nice thin bumpers . . no big energy absorbing picnic table bumpers in 1970.
